Literacy

This week in Literacy we will be looking at famous London Landmarks with Paddington. Paddington will then write a letter to Aunt Lucy telling her all about them! The children will be reconnecting their learning from last week about using personal pronouns, he, we, me, she, I when writing a letter and to use capital letters for names of places. |
| Maths | This week in maths we will continue to explore composition of shapes. We will investigate tetromino and pentomino arrangements (how we can create different arrangements using 4 and 5 squares). We will also investigate ways that four cubes can be composed into different 3D models. We will then explore, discuss and compare 3D shapes. |

Please note this is a basic overview of the planning for this week. It is impossible to cover in this outline all the learning that takes place during a week! We also believe in listening to your children and responding to their interests and ideas therefore all our planning is flexible. Please note some of the learning will take place across more than one week and during some weeks the learning focus may not cover all curriculum areas.
